"The guys came on the first day to look over the work to make sure we were all on the same page. We walked through the project and quote they had provided. After that, they got to work on the repairs. It took a little longer than that predicted, but I'm very happy with the results. It's hard to pick out where the plumbers cut the holes in the drywall to access pipes, excellent work. "

"Charlie came out to our home, he's very personable, knowledgeable, and wants the customer to be happy. He has a crew of professional tradesmen that work for him. He will come right out and tell you, that he is not going to be the most expensive quote that you get, or the lowest quote. We found that to be true. Charlie let us know what credentials are needed to perform the work, and what we should be asking other contractors to show us as far as their licenses go. We had several months to work out what exactly we wanted done. We were able to show him photos of what we liked, get our tile for the shower and floor and shower fixtures. We also got our sink, faucets, toilet before hand. I would recommend looking at magazines for ideas, go to showrooms, look online, Make a list of what you really like. We had beautiful stain glass windows made through the Glass Gazebo in Provincetown ,which make our bathroom all the more just unique. Charlie will sit down with you, and give you feedback on all your ideas, and will let you know what he thinks will work and not work. He also will show you photos of work he has done, where you can also get more ideas. Charlie is easy to talk to, shows up when he says he will, and does excellent work. He's a contractor that you can depend on. We hope to do more business with him in the future."

We recently purchased a 2nd home on Lake James with an exterior that is 100% cedar. The exterior was in serious need of cleaning and re-staining. It had not been maintained; and, had a significant amount of mold staining and several areas of the trim had the original finish peeling off.
We contracted with Mike and Crystal to prep and re-stain the exterior of our home. Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated thoroughness, competency and responsibility. Mike and Crystal took personal responsibility to ensure they delivered a quality product. Mike kept his commitments and did not compromise his work product even when faced with the stripping process taking more time than he expected. He completed the project per the schedule he committed.
Mike demonstrated a high attention to detail in the finishing process and ensured the project was completed to my satisfaction. The home looks beautiful...we could not be happier.
I solicited bids from several paint contractors and evaluated several before selecting Mike. His pricing was very competitive versus several other contractors; but, I never observed where Mike cut corners.
I would definitely recommend MIke's Painting and will plan to use Mike again when we have painting needs.
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.
Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.
Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
